Ficus deltoidea  (yellow ring) hosted by a Dryobalanops lanceolata  Dipterocarp  next to the Belalong Canopy Walkway in Brunei.

There is some doubt about the longevity and survival rate of epiphytic and hemi-epiphytic figs which grow on the branches  of some of Borneo’s tallest trees high up in the canopy.  However this  Ficus deltoidea  shrub growing in an epiphytic sky garden   was first photographed in December 2011. It was still healthy in December 2017- almost exactly 6 years later.
